The Ministry of Health has been ordered to construct ultra-modern eye and dental units in four counties in the next 12 months.

Speaking after opening a Sh275 million eye and dental unit at Tenwek Mission Hospital in Bomet yesterday, President Uhuru Kenyatta has directed that similar facilities be put up at Kenyatta National Hospital, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, as well as the Nyeri and Mombasa Level Five hospitals.
